How the Fairies Got Their Names

A widely spread notion IS that when
our crusading forefathers went to the
Holy Land they heard the Paynim
soldiers, whom they fought, speaking
much Of the Peri, the loveliest beings
imaginable, who dwelt in the East.
Now, the Arabian language, which these
swarthy warriors used, has no letter P,
and therefore they called their spirits
Feri, as did the Crusaders after them;
and the word went back with them to
Europe and slipped Into general use.
"EIf' and goblin" too, are interest
ing to trace. There was a great Italian
feul in the twelfth century between the
German Emperor and the Pope, whose
separate partisans were known as the
Guelfs and the Ghibellines. As time
went on and the memory of that long
strife was still fresh, descendant of the
Guelfs would put upon anybody he dis
liked the odious name of Ghibelline, and
the latter, generation after generation,
would return the compliment ardently in
his own fashion. Both terms finally
came to be mere catchwords for abuse
and reproach. And the fairies, falling
into disfavor with some bold mortals,
were angrily nicknamed "elf' and
goblin" in which shape you will rec
ognize the last threadbare reminder of
the once bitter and historic faction OF
Guelf and Ghibelline. = Wide A,oake.

Receiving the Town HearSe

''Saw funny thing up in Rapid City,
D. T., the other day." said travelling
man just in from the West yesterday.
1.-The town, you know, is the jumping
off place of all creation. There is where
all roilroading ends and great deal of
tough staging begins. The town re-
ceived its first hearse about ten days ago.
1t came on a flat car. After the black
vehicle had been unloaded the mayor
and city council, the fire and police de-
partments, and a number of prominent
citizens on foot and in carriages, marched
to the depot, headed by two brass bands.
"Here the grotesque procession was
reorganized, with the hearse in front,
and the march through the principal
streets begun. Hundreds of people
swarmed along the sidewalks, and many
flags were displayed. AT night there
was creditable attempt at illumination
in the business district and an elaborate
display of fireworks in front of the un-
dertaker's shop. Pll bet the first fellow
to ride in the hearse will get a send-off
that will beat any Fourth of July eele-
bration the people IN the Black Hills
ever aw."- Chicago Herald.

The Mystery of ApOpIexy.

Apoplexy is unfrequent before the end
of middle life, because up to that time
the cerebral vessels usually retain their
-integrity, but there is no way in which
it is possible to predict the occurrence
of apoplexy in a person who has never
had seizure. A person who has once
had a stroke is more likely to have an
other than the person of the same age
who has never had one. But the occur
renee of one seizure does not necessarily
imply speedy recurrence Of the trouble,
nor, indeed, any recurrence at all. The
individual may live to old age without
having another attack, and finally die Of
some trouble wholly unconnected with
the tendency to apoplexy But notwi,h-
standing this possible exemption, it is
proper and important that the person
should preserve as closely as possible a
temperate mode of life, avoiding ex-
cesses Of all kinds, and adhering as
faithfully as possible to that golden
mean, which is the exponent of the laws
of wholesome living. Mental excite
ment and great bodily cxertion must be
avoided, but all mental occupations
should not be prohibited, and moderate
phys cal employment is one of the nee
essary conditions of good health. - Good

The Wolves and the washtub.

The story is told of a Norwegian far.
mer who was conveying one Of his swine
to another estate in the night. His road
Law across a pond which was frozen over.
Upon his sled he had fastened very
strong, high tub, in which he placed the
welphty animal, and GOV red it. The
tubs which are in common use for wash
ing, as well as other purposes, are nearly
four feet deep, and are supported by three
feet.
The middle of the pond was reached
when in the stiffness was heard the faint
patter of feet and the distant howing of
a pack of wolves, md the farmer knew
they were pursuing him with swift di,
rectness. Now was his time to exercise
the coolest bravery and the most adroit
skill. He at once loosened his horse
from the harness and let him 90. The
voracious creatures were almost upon
him when he threw them the fat porker.
lie then overturned the tub and hid be-
meath it as his only refuge, his ak his
sole weapon. After devouring the de-
1iclous booty the wild beasts tried to get
at the man and make him their pray by
thrusting their paws or their noses under
the tub. But he welded his ak with
energy aud his well-aimed blows cut off
the intruding members steadily. The
ferocious animals fell blcl on the ice,
one after another, Bleeding and helpless,
but the farmer remained imprisoned
until daylight When he knew by the
silence that he was alone and safe he
crept forth to view the scene and mark
the result of the adventure 1t appeared
that eight or ten Of his foes had been
destroyed, and the bloody tracks upon
the ice showed that others had been
wounded and had crawlcd away. BY
the bounty whichhe received for killing
the wolves and the sale of the skins
taken from them the farmer gained a
round sum, although he lost the animal
he set out with. The horse had trotted
back to his stable.

Dayy Jmes's Locker.

Responding to q spondent's in
quiry as to the origin of the nautical
phrase, hGone to. Dayy Jones's Locker, s"
the New York Sftn says: Dayy Jones's
Locker is the sailpr mans name for the
place OF the deadwho are buried at sea.
When a man dips at sea his body is
sewed up in canvass, some heavy weight
is attached to fhd feet to make sure that
the body sinks, abd the whole is then
dropped overboail. The body has gone
to Davg SaAss Locker, 1t was an
awful eone, a ls.as~--,,.,,,si44s that the
bodies OF the MI that have been cast
overheard along the principal routes
between America and Europe are now
standing erect on the bottom of the sea
shoulder to shoulder from port to port.
Jones is the sailors corruption for
Jonah. He thinks the dominic who
breaches about Jonah is simply afflicted
with an ambition to talk like a coclney
when saying Jonah is the name meant.
Davy is said to come from the West
India negro's word duffy, meaning
devil or evil spirit. Davy Jones is
simply Duffy OF Devil Jonah that is, he
is the evil spirit of the sea, just as
Neptune is the God of the sea. What
ever fevil happens to the ship or crew
is the work of the evil spirit of the sea,
and so when a sailor man dies Davy
Jones has claimed his own, and the body
must be consigned to his home. Some
authorities think that Dlvy is a corrup-
ton of teufel, the German for devil.

A WastefuI World.

tistic, "on the amount Of inger-nail
that is wasted in this world every year
and, sir, it is something enormous. Now,
sir, the average person trims off thirty
second of an inch Of nail from each
finger every week, or three inches q
year. The average of human life the
world over is forty years. Look at that,
sirl Ten feet of fnger-nail for each
fnger-a round 200 feet from the
twenty fingers and toes. Well, sir there
are 800, 900. 600 people in this world,
and altogether they waste, on an aver
age, 500, 600, 600 feet, or Sc, s1S 1-5
miles of finger-nail in a generation.
Why, sir, that is sufficient to reach
around the earth, and still leave nearly
10, 600 miles to do our scratching with.
And only think it would take less than
four generations to raise fnger-n
enough to scratch the eyes out of the

For Constipation, or Costiyeness, no
-emedy is so effective as AYERS PILLS.
They insure regular daily action, and re-
store the bowels to healthy condition.

PILLS are invaluable, and a sure cure.
Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Fo,r
Stomach, FlatuIency, Dizziness, Head
ache, Numbness, Nausea, are all relieved
and cured by AYERS PILLS.
In Liver Complaint, Bilious Disorders,
I'D Jaundice, AYERS PILLS should be
given in doses large enough to excite the
liver and bowels, and remove constipation.
